Woooow! That was an amazing fan fiction. I really admire you for finishing it, instead of getting bored and quitting like so many other people do. I can't even believe I actually cried at the end of this! SUPER good job(:

Author's Response: I always feel bad when someone says they cried at the end, but it was the intention, so that's awesome. Thanks so much for reading!! Glad you liked it!

Summary: It is June 1976 and The Marauders are at the top of their game. From the outside they look to have everything.But appearances, as the saying goes, can be deceptive.

James is discovering that not everything in life is his for the taking. Sirius knows he will have to defy his formidable family. Remus lives in constant fear of his life beyond Hogwarts. As for Peter... Well, Peter is struggling to live up to his friends.

The ties of friendship are strong, but war is raging and with a dark power rising those ties will inevitably fray.

Added to the mix is an adversary called Severus Snape, some lost House Points, a prank or two and a whole lot of Lily.

This is a Marauder tale.

This is a story of what made them special.

This is a story of why it started to go wrong for The Lions of Gryffindor.

OH MY GOOD GODRIC! Lions of Gryffindor won the 2009 QSQ for Best Marauders' Era Story. Amazed and incredibly grateful to those who nominated, judged and have beta'd this fic. THANK YOU.

Some stories go up, and some stories are gone.
Stories of her own? Why, she has plenty!
Fewer than one-hundred, but far more than twenty.

This story is SO good! Remus' break down in the very first chapter is kinda weird, but I like how you get to the action right away. I feel like you get more and more into the story as it keeps going, which is good. I think. Hahahaha. Oh, and if anything happens with Sonia and James, I might just die of unhappiness. :) Now pleeeeaaase update so I can figure out whether Rich is a good guy or not!

Author's Response: The next chapter is coming very soon, but bear in mind that we didn't find out the truth about Snape for seven books - heh heh heh. Oh, James and Sonia ... wow, no one likes the poor girl, do they? Or Rich - poor man. *sniggers and runs away* ~Carole~
